Luo Yanqing maintained a stern countenance as he imparted instructions to his eldest son.
"Hmm."
Min Rui offered a solemn nod.
"What I've just conveyed, the two of you must also bear in mind," Luo Yanqing stated, his gaze shifting to Ming Han and Ming Wei. He emphasized earnestly, "Education is for your own benefit. Should you wish to avoid future regrets, you must set formidable goals in your academic pursuits."
"Dad, I understand."
Ming Wei responded.
Ming Han nodded, confirming, "I've remembered."
Just as he was about to depart, Luo Yanqing's thoughts turned to Austin, prompting him to inquire of the twins, "Are you acquainted with that child named Jian?"
"In a manner of speaking."
This was Ming Han's voice.
"Dad, Jian doesn't quite mix well with others. He typically doesn't engage in play with his classmates," Ming Wei elaborated with a slight frown. "However, that Han Qian in our class consistently gravitates towards Jian. Moreover, my good friend Xiao Ran mentioned that Jian resembles a doll, and she adores dolls above all else."
"You do not favor Jian?" Luo Yanqing probed, observing the twins' expressions. Ming Han quickly interjected, "Dad, I don't dislike Jian; I simply don't interact with him often."
Ming Wei added, "Dad, I don't dislike him either." She found Jian to be somewhat withdrawn, always keeping his thoughts to himself, and not particularly astute.
Nevertheless, Jian's academic performance rivaled that of her second brother; both consistently secured the top rankings in their grade during examinations.
"Very well, you may go play now."
Luo Yanqing concluded, turning to exit the room. Once he had left, Ming Wei blinked and quietly posed a question to her brothers, Min Rui and Ming Han, "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, why do you suppose Dad suddenly brought up Jian?"
Min Rui remained taciturn.
Ming Han's eyes flickered as he surveyed his surroundings. After a brief pause, he offered, "Perhaps Dad encountered Jian's father when he visited Mom abroad. Jian's father might have mentioned Jian to him, leading Dad to casually inquire about Jian."
"Second Brother, your explanation was almost convincing; you sounded so genuine!" Ming Wei rolled her eyes at Ming Han, unaware that his conjecture was remarkably close to the truth.
Indeed, while Austin had not directly discussed Jian with Luo Yanqing, he had conveyed his thoughts to Kang Li, which amounted to the same thing.
After all, husband and wife are one, and Austin had previously requested Kang Li to ascertain information about his ex-wife, Shen Yun, and their son, Jian, through Luo Yanqing. As Austin's confidante and Luo Yanqing's wife, Kang Li naturally relayed Austin's request to Luo Yanqing.
It was true that Kang Li had discussed the matter with Luo Yanqing, but ultimately, Kang Li handled the situation herself.
She informed Austin regarding Shen Yun's remarriage and Jian's current circumstances.
Luo Yanqing, not one to concern himself with such minor affairs, had remained detached.
"Believe it or not, hmm hmm hmm..."
Ming Han pulled a comical face at Ming Wei.
"How childish."
Ming Wei crossed her arms, casting a disdainful, almost adult-like glance at Ming Han. "You are no longer a small child, Second Brother. You ought to cease such immature behavior. Otherwise, do not claim me as your sister when we are outside, lest I be ridiculed alongside you by our classmates."
"Who would dare ridicule me?" Ming Han boastfully tilted his chin upwards. "I am a formidable fellow. Anyone who dares to mock me should prepare themselves for a thrashing!"
Ming Wei pouted, remarking, "Just look at you."
Min Rui inquired, "Are you attempting to take flight?"
"Eldest Brother, since when have you begun to side with Luo Mingwei? We are supposed to be brothers, as close as two peas in a pod, yet you are making me feel betrayed! Are you, perhaps, merely a false friend to me?"
Clutching his chest, Ming Han dramatically feigned distress, adopting a pitiable posture.
Min Rui maintained a stoic expression and delivered a dry remark: "I believe you should apply to the performing arts academy."
"Applying to the performing arts academy to become an actor is Luo Mingwei's aspiration, not mine. I have made my decision; I intend to enroll in the National Defense University and contribute to our nation, much like Cousin Chen and Uncle Feng Yi. Is that not an admirable pursuit?"
Ming Han articulated, his eyes alight with enthusiasm, radiating a palpable energy.
"You wish to become an actor?"
Bypassing his playful brother's antics, Min Rui turned his attention to his sister, Ming Wei.
"Yes," Ming Wei affirmed with a nod. Her delicate voice declared, "I find the profession of acting to be exceptionally enjoyable."
Min Rui's brow furrowed. "You desire to be an actor simply for the fun of it?"
